Girls’ Night Outs are already fun but imagine you and your girlfriends sharing the best cocktail drinks. What could be more fantastic, right?
The next time you plan to go to the bar, whip out this list, so you sound like a pro when choosing awesome cocktails.
Here are some carefully selected best drinks to order at the bar for a woman.
Top 10 Must-Try Drinks Women Should Order At A Bar
10. Chocolate Martini
The Chocolate Martini can satisfy you and your girlfriends’ sweet cravings. This is made by mixing hard alcohol with a chocolatey component, whether liqueur or cocoa powder.
This cocktail can also double as a delicious dessert, and we have to say we don’t feel as guilty after having this as if we were to have a slice of cake. But how many shots are in a Martini?
9. Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary is a popular drink that you’ll often see alongside brunches, but it’s also a great option to order at bars.
This savory-sour cocktail is made with vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce, garnished with a celery stick.
8. Pina Colada
The Pina Colada is one of the most gorgeous drinks once it’s set up, as it’s always served with decorations such as cherries and tiny umbrellas.
This popular drink is made with rum, coconut milk, and pineapple juice, so you can only imagine how refreshing this would taste. It can be prepared either shaken with ice cubes or blended like a smoothie.
7. Mai Tai
Tiki-themed restaurants and bars would probably have Mai Tai [1], which means “out of this world” in English. This classic cocktail is made with dark rum, lime juice, orange liquor, and orgeat syrup for a tangy, summery drink.
Order a few drinks for you and your girlfriends the next time you’re out. Check out some easy 2-ingredient rum drinks here.
6. Sangria
Sangria is a no-brainer when it comes to cocktails ladies can order.
And even if you’re not at a bar, it’s fairly easy to whip one up at home — all you need is good quality red wine, chopped fruits of your choice, and a large pitcher to put everything in.
This refreshing drink originated in Spain and Portugal, with its name derived from the Sanskrit word “sakkari,” meaning “sugared wine.” Here’s the best type of wine for Sangria.
5. Margarita
Margarita is a classic bar staple that all of us probably have had at some point in our lives — not just girls’ night. It is made from a simple mixture of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice, shaken or stirred together, and served in a dainty cocktail glass.
It’s also fairly easy to fix drinks up for you and your girlfriends if you decide to stay in and still have fun.

4. Sex on the Beach
The Sex on the Beach cocktail is the brainchild of Ted Pizio, a Florida bartender who was looking to promote peach schnapps.
He named it after “sex” and “the beach,” which were the main reasons kids loved going to Florida for spring break so much.
Contrary to its raunchy name, this is a fruity and tangy cocktail drink made by mixing vodka, orange juice, cranberry juice, and peach schnapps. This tropical drink reminds us of many beach escapades with our girlfriends during university days.
3. Cosmopolitan
The Cosmopolitan is probably the most popular drink for women at a bar, with massive thanks mainly to Sex and the City for popularizing it.
This simple drink tastes amazing and is synonymous with elite, classy women working powerful corporate jobs. [2]
This delicious, flirty drink is made with vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and Cointreau, served in a dainty martini glass. It’s the best drink to get the next time you want to destress with some girlfriends after a particularly difficult day at work.

2. Strawberry Daiquiri
The pretty-in-pink Strawberry Daiquiri should definitely be on your cocktail list the next time you’re planning a night out with your girlfriends. It’s made with dark rum, lime juice, strawberry juice, and fresh fruit for a truly refreshing drink.
It’s either blended like a smoothie or shaken in a cocktail shaker and garnished with a few strawberry slices on top.

And the number one best drink for women to order at bars is the classic Mojito, made with white rum, lime juice, club soda, simple syrup, and mint. I
t goes down smoothly and is definitely easy on the palate, so you can dance and enjoy the night away without worrying that you’ll get tipsy quickly.
Aside from being a refreshing, fun drink, the classic Mojito is also colorless, so there’s less staining in case you accidentally spill some on yourself while having fun and dancing.
We love how Mojitos are even white-dress friendly!
